Was lucky enough to secure an offer with BCG as experienced hire (1 year out of undergrad). Having a call tomorrow with recruiter to discuss the details, what should I expect? Salary / start date?

Fyi we have standard bands so there isn’t much if any room for negotiation. Every entry associate in North America makes the same base

like

MBA or other advanced degree = consultant

Expect entry level salary for associate, and a start date in a month or two (depends on office needs).

Makes sense, thank you

Congrats. how did you prep and get an interview a year out? Which practice are you joining?

They won’t try to lowball you. As BCG2 said, we have very standardized pay bands

if you don’t mind asking, how did you get to transition with only one year experience?

Yeah it’s for the entry level associate role. Everyone at the final round definitely seemed to be other experienced hires though, not undergrads. Though from my understanding will be coming it at the exact same level as them (not that I mind). One friend of mine joined BCG with 2 years of experience though and was made a senior associate, so I wasn’t sure if there was some potential for them crediting my one year of relevant work experience - not so far as an SA, but like an associate with one year of experience pay
